seen from the road about 100 feet into the

Mildred Gibson Willis Bull Phelps was an ancestor of most of
the many people of Monroe County who are Willis
descendants. She was a daughter of John Gibson who died in
1827 in Wilkes County Georgia and his wife Mildred (Millie)
Holladay Gibson.
Her first husband was George Willis who died 1816 in Wilkes
County Georgia. He was a son of James Willis of Virginia who
died 1813 in Wilkes County and his first wife Ann/Nancy.
They had sons:
Owen J willis,
George A Willis,
John G Willis
Mildred Gibson Willis married 2nd William H Bull (he is
buried in the Carlton-Bull Cemetery Mildred married
William H Bull 1818 in Wilkes County and they had several
children who lived to adulthood.
Mildred Gibson Willis Bull married 3rd Acquilla Phelps
Matilda Gibson (Mildred's sister) married 1st David Allison
who was guardian of Mildred's three Willis sons. Matilda,
who was Mildred's sister, married 3 more times. Matilda was
married last to James Lamar
Children in the cemetery are said to be a child of Mildred
and William Bull and a Bryant child. I don't know who the
Bryant child could be. One of Mildred's sons, John Gibson
Willis b 10 Jun 1810 Wilkes County, GA had a daughter by his
second wife who married a Bryant. Could this Bryant child be
Mildred's Great Grandchild? [I have Mary Lena Willis m.
Hiram J. Bryant in Butts Co., GA but no date. Mary Lena was
b. 1874]
